The Singapore bar registers its best-ever position, while Hong Kong’s The Old Man debuts in the top ten. By Dan Bignold.

Dandelyan, the London bar that announced its closure this week, was last night crowned the World’s Best Bar 2018. Dandelyan climbed one place from 2017, pushing last year’s winner, London’s American Bar at The Savoy, into second position.

However for Asia, the big news at the ceremony in London, was a first-ever top-three ranking for Singapore’s Manhattan, which continued its brilliant march towards the top in recent years, surging four places to third.

Manhattan was joined in the top ten by two other Asian bars: Singapore’s Atlas, which rose seven spots to eighth, and Hong Kong’s The Old Man, which made an incredible debut on the list at 10th. The bar only opened in August 2017.
